Centre Using "Divide-And-Rule" Policy To Gain Votes: Mehbooba Mufti

Mehbooba Mufti attacked the Centre for changing the names of roads, stations across the country and said the dispensation has nothing to project in front of the electorate.

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday alleged that the Central government is working on the "divide and rule" policy and its vision is to earn votes by dividing people.

"Those in Delhi are using Jammu and Kashmir as a laboratory and are experimenting here. Leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru and Atal Bihari Vajpayee had a vision for Jammu and Kashmir. Divide and rule is their policy - their vision is to divide people and increase their vote bank," Ms Mufti said.

"Sardars are now Khalistani and we are Pakistani," she said attacking the Centre, adding, "Only BJP is not Hindustan."

Addressing a press conference in Jammu, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chief attacked the BJP-led government at the Centre for changing the names of roads, stations across the country and said the dispensation has nothing to project in front of the electorate.
